This Agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the World Trichology Society (WTS) Education Partner collectively referred to as the “Program”. The Program refers to promoting trichology-specific courses to your colleagues such as: students/trichologists/cosmetologists/hairstylists/dermatologists, in return for a commission.
The terms “you,” and “your” are referring to you, the applicant. World Trichology Society and this Agreement refers to as “we” and “our”. We are independent parties, and this Agreement will not form any other partnership between you or the WTS in any extent other than what this agreement describes.
Agreement between the World Trichology Society and you as identified on the 'application for enrollment form', is on the following terms:
Regarding sales directly from the WTS website; the World Trichology Society shall pay the Education Partner a commission of 60% of the selling price(s), exclusive of any sales taxes, any administration including marketing or affiliate commissions, or promos/discounts of each order or part of each order of product(s) duly remitted by the Education Partner.
The World Trichology Society may accept the refund or partial refund of the cost of a course at its sole discretion. Any refund will be completely paid for by the Education Partner.
The World Trichology Society is not entitled to any compensation for services performed or expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement other than as set out in the agreement.
PLEASE NOTE:
Endorsement: The World Trichology Society Corporate Partnership does not constitute an endorsement/accreditation of your course by WTS unless specifically stated by the World Trichology Society.
By completing the enrollment process, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to the terms of this Agreement. You are of legal age in your country/state/territory of residency and/or are the age of 18 or older. You understand that you may cancel this Agreement at any time regardless of reason by written or electronic email notice to the WTS. You also understand that acceptance as an education partner is not automatic but is subject to the receipt and acceptance of the application by the World Trichology Society.
You can access your Program link in the Program link tab. You will not receive commission unless you use your delegated link or your promo code. If you only share the WTS link without the FULL URL given, or if the promo code is not used, we cannot track your references or commissions and you will not get paid.

Here you will be able to review our Program’s details and previously published newsletters, download HTML code (that provides for links to web pages within the WTS web site) and banner creatives, browse and get tracking codes for our coupons and deals.

3. World Trichology Society reserves the right, at any time, to review your placement and approve the use of Your Links and require that you change the placement or use to comply with the guidelines provided to you.
4. The maintenance and the updating of your site (if any) will be your responsibility. We may monitor your site as we feel necessary to make sure that it is up-to-date and to notify you of any changes that we feel should enhance your performance.
5. It is entirely your responsibility to follow all applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to you. You must have express permission to use any person’s copyrighted material, whether it be a writing, an image, or any other copyrightable work. We will not be responsible (and you will be solely responsible) if you use another person’s copyrighted material or other intellectual property in violation of the law or any third-party rights.
We have the right to monitor you and your site (if applicable) at any time to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may notify you of any changes to your site that we feel should be made, or to make sure that your links to our web site are appropriate and to notify further you of any changes that we feel should be made. If you do not make the changes to your site that we feel are necessary, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the WTS Program.
World Trichology Society reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the WTS Program immediately and without notice to you should you commit fraud in your use of the WTS Program or should you abuse this program in any way. If such fraud or abuse is detected, we shall not be liable to you for any commissions for such fraudulent sales.
This Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Partnership and/or Affiliate application and will continue unless terminated hereunder.
Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail, email, or fax. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.
We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion. In such event, you will be notified by email. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only option is to end this Agreement. Your continued participation in the WTS Program following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.
You will be paid via bank transfer or PayPal; it is your obligation to report all earnings to the IRS in accordance to the tax laws within your working area.
You will create a password so that you may enter the WTS secure Partnership account interface. From their site, you will be able to receive the reports that will describe our calculation of the commissions due to you. You will be paid on the last day of each month, however, if you do decide to use your earnings towards purchasing courses you may use it as a credit at any time.
You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions WTS could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by WTS, for example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email, postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote WTS so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from WTS. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the WTS Partnership and/or Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
